This is my brand new photo thread. I will be editing THIS POST when i upload photos with the dates, so if you can know if there are new photos in the thread. All comments are welcome, dates are dd/mm/yy format, im English!

For some reason my photos loose quality after upload to photobucket... they were much crisper beforehand.

For anti-Photoshop purists i hate to disappoint but i do like touching up my photos! Some are natural but some are not/ Even if they are touched up, they looked amazing beforehand anyway!! Hope you enjoy it, i enjoyed taking them.

All critiques and advice is more than welcome, i want to improve! Although if you have a picture thread i expect a link so i can slag you off too!!

All photos are taken in England, those that are exceptionally awesome are generally in the Peak District National Park and Exmoor National Park. Butterflies, sunsets and caterpillars are my own back garden! If you want to know more about a specific photo feel free to ask.

NOTE: If anyone wants to use these pictures anywhere feel free, just credit me somewhere and message me to let me know you did it, you dont need to ask permission x

Yeah, sometimes i leave pics as they are... but most of mine have had a fair bit of saturation usage and a little extra shadow. I just see it as an artificial way of turning the sun up/down haha! The pink flower, which is one of my favourites, is not edited at all... that was a lucky shot as that was a really sunny day and the colours came up perfect. I dont think i was even using macro setting as i was just showing my friend how to take a picture lol...

Love the hills and forests, since emigrating from southern England to the Netherlands I've certainly missed that kind of landscape. I spent several summers in Exmoor and I fancy I recognise some of the views you've captured.
